trying to move on from the pain of the past. women who refused to die on out to zera. for half a century indigo. die is all my mood up or what can i say? what did the last decade? yeah, and others in northern nigeria have watched helplessly as a business struggle and becomes dissipated growth making technology has changed or what time. but look at this di piece. yeah. income and expos say that's met some of the products and competitive the dumping of chemically treated fabrics. yeah. like in most african markets is a major source of concern for local produces, there is widespread concern. but so even the few kits that remain will also have to close bringing an end to more than 500 years of history. ah. ready the speak up slang because parliament is due to hold

a news conference shortly on the resignation of president. gotta buy up roger packs . ah, hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out. they are alive from dough also coming up, china's economic growth slow sharply to 0.4 percent as widespread locked downs hit industrial output and consumer spending. post indonesia calls on g 20 finance ministers to find common ground to the catastrophe. low income countries facing sawing food and fuel prices and us president joe biden signs of declaration with israel, aimed at preventing iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. ah, that's me. cub shall anchors. parliament is due to hold a news conference shortly after president got to buy a roger packs. i submitted a letter of resignation. will these ally pictures from colombo, where the speaker

a handout yet, but otherwise, dana is due to speak shortly. earlier he'd said the resignation letter must be checked for authenticity. well, got a bi at roger packs that is now in singapore after fleeing to the mall, deeds on wednesday, under pressure from mounting demonstrations against his presidency. protest as want a new government to end the countries deep economic crisis. when l fernandez is in columbia with the latest on russia, paxis resignation letter, it will have to go through a very stringent verification process. is what the speaker's office says. that will involve ensuring and making sure that it is what it purports to be. the original resignation document of resin. go top, a roger boxer, obviously a bit earlier in the day we heard that the president had flown from the motives to sing a pull. but here at the protest, drone 0, you can probably hear all the sort of speeches and some of the sound from behind. a

lot of those speeches still are sort of reacting to that news alert that the resignation has come. so a lot of a sort of silly brain tree kind of speeches, but by far and large there's no a sort of strict curfew, even though we were told that it was imposed till tomorrow morning. so people are going on with things. a one concern is that we were told that outside the presidential secretariat for a few hours has been a number of buses full of military personnel on some with right here, some with battens. and that's a bit of a concern as to whether or not they might be deployed in this protest area. china's economic growth has slowed sharply as a 0 copay policy and widespread locked downs hurt industrial activity and consumer spending. second quarter g d p grew just 0.4 percent compared to the same quarter. last year. economists will in the government's full year growth target of 5.5 percent is not achievable. agent brought reports from hong kong. for more than 2

decades, china's economy has been the dependable engine for global economic growth. but that engine is starting to sputter. he thinking kinship, the world's 2nd largest economy is slowing, and president changing pings 0 tolerance. kobe 19 campaign is being blamed. 30 months after it began, but in whew hand, last month he signaled that it was a price worth pay. given the low vaccination rate, no country in the world to get it down to 0. so how is china going to be able to do that? particularly with low vaccination, right? it seems a very toy odom earlier this year. business activity and shanghai was brought to a standstill for weeks creating calles and food shortages. now the business and logistics hub is struggling to contain another outbreak. with households advise to stuck up on 2 weeks of food and medicine. while many countries are trying to live

with cobra 19 along with its multiple sub variance, china, it seems, will not be joining that list anytime soon. and so for now, the economy remained stuck in a stop stop pattern. this week the government has released another batch of economic and trade statistics, but they don't necessarily reflect what's really happening to the economy. says one skeptical analyst, i think as a, as the reference as a reference. but like all of fishes, the physics we analysts townhouse trying to figure out it correctly in terms of that i think that the key, the figure that does matter though is the one for annual economic growth that this year china's leaders set at 5.5 percent i think that's going to be very hard to achieve because there are so many headwinds. at the moment we have inflation taken off around the world. maybe the world economy might think into recession. so that

means chinese export markets could well collects, with millions of people confined to their homes, consumer confidence is flat. that's why inflations hovering at around 2 and a half percent low compared to the us and europe. the uncertain economic part is unfolding in a politically sensitive year. after the 20th party congress in november, president, she expects to secure and historic her term. and adrian brown, jones of live now from hong kong, adrian. so one of these latest figures then tell us about the world's 2nd largest economy. well, they tell us that the world's 2nd largest economy is in severe difficulties at the moment. everyone expected the figures for the 2nd quarter to be bad, but not this bad. i think this is the 1st time that the economy has actually contracted since that fin demik began in january 2020. and the reason,

as i mentioned in my report, is president cheating pings 0 covey campaign. that is the price that china is paying for having that policy at the moment. and it's a policy that president cheating, pain seems set to stick with. he has decided that the priority is to save lives and allow the economy to slow a bit. now the question is, is that policy sustainable? a lot of analysts, i've spoken to here at hong kong, say that policy is not sustainable. house china gonna respond? well, i think we might see it spending more money on infrastructure to try and get economic growth movie again. but as one economist told me, you can only build so many, you know, roads, bridges, and at airports. and adrian, the chinese premier, has been talking about the country's economic problems. what did he have to say? well, he said the government would continue to support the economy, but didn't explain exactly how that support would play out. he conceded that the

past few months had been very bad for china's economy and he said that the government would do everything that he could to try to contain and keep inflation low. now, inflation in china is low. it's about what 2.5 percent, much lower than in europe and the united states. but the reason why inflation is so low is that people aren't spending because they're locked up in their homes. you know, the sort of rolling locked downs we've seen across china, which is lead to, while almost a 10th of the population being affected, is not good for a country that wants to grow its economy. or i to adrian brown life as they're in hong kong. adrian, thank you. a russian, i strike has killed at least 23 people in one of the ukraine's largest city is called vanessia. many others were injured as missiles it residential buildings and businesses. alan fisher reports a capital chief a desperate dash to save a life pulled from the debris after a russian missile strike in the toner v needs. so it was mid morning when 3

explosions ripped through an office building and to residential blocks. the area was packed. the number of dead and injured significant president vladimir zalinski called it an act of terrorism junior. could a russian rockets hit our city vinegar, a typical peaceful city. cruise missiles hid civilian buildings, destroyed residential blocks, a medical center. and there is a fire cause we're on fire trams. this is a particular criminal act of russian terror. it cannot be done by humans. they're barbarians if the ukrainian claims are correct and what was fired with caliber cruise missiles from a submarine that adds to their allegation, that civilians are being deliberately targeted. because these missiles are known to be incredibly accurate, rarely string more than 4 meters away from the intended target. the attack came just hours after ukraine's foreign minister renewed calls for a special tribunal to investigate, alleged russian war crimes. speaking to

a meeting of europe's judicial authorities, the metro collabo says there should be coordination with existing agencies. we have heard a number of reservations since day year 1st floated in the early march. most of them expressed concern that this effort could replace existing international courts and fabulous fuss weakening them. i want to clearly illiterate. we did not have any such intention. countries at the ukraine accountability conference agree the investigation into the war could take years. but see, it's important any one responsible for any atrocities must be held to account. russia denies it is committed war crimes during what it calls, special military operations in ukraine. alan fisher, i'll just either keep time for a short break here now to 0. when we come back and then there were 5, the you case for my finance minister, richie sooner tops the 2nd round of voting for new conservative party leda. so

who's staying and who's got more? not saying ah hello there, let's look to north america. we've seen severe storms sweep across south eastern states of the us, some of those horses flash flooding in virginia, destroying homes and roads. now we are expecting that whether to linger here over the weekend effecting some states along that east coast, pulling down across the florida panhandle. to the us gulf coast. now we still have temperatures well above average, a lot of heat here through those central areas pushing up into the northern plains and even going up into canada. for the west of this, we still got monsoon showers affecting the 4 corners states, but even farther west that west coast. it is largely hot and dry,

which doesn't help the wildfire and drought conditions in california. but it's all about the heat. for example, in places like texas, we're going to see the temperature continue to rise well above the average by the time we get some monday lingering at around 41 degrees celsius. now as we move to central america, it's all about the heat, but with a mix of sunshine and showers for a lot of the caribbean, heavier fools for the likes of cuba by the time we get into saturday. but it's western areas of mexico that are going to get a drenching thanks to that swirling system of wet and windy weather. ah lou . ready lou ah, wherever you go in the world,

warmer line goes for you except i always go in places to do. lou ah ah, we'll get my anchor mind about top stories here at this hour. they speak up shrunk as parliament is due to hold a news conference after president. go to buy a roger pizza submitted a letter of resignation. he's alive pictures from the capital, colombo with speaker my him that yup. i look at the window. donna is due to speak shortly earlier he'd said the resignation letter must be checked for authenticity. china's economic growth has slowed sharply with 2nd quarter gdp increasing just 0.4

percent compared to the same quote. last year. economy's been under pressure due to at 0 covet policy and widespread lockdown. now a global food crisis, soaring inflation and a gloomy economic outlook are the focus of g 20 meetings in bali with finance chiefs from most of the world's largest economies. a holding talks, jessica washington reports in bonnie's resort district of new said, do a finance ministers from gee 20 countries are preparing to discuss a troubling issue. state of the global economy. i made soaring food and energy costs. us treasury secretary, janet yellen, once russia to be held accountable. it's troubling to see how the war is contributing to higher energy costs. food insecurity and hunger for the most vulnerable global lay. yellen will use the meeting hosted by indonesia to push for a designated price on russian oil aimed at pressuring moscow to rent its invasions

20 finance meeting? well that's exactly right. these meetings, these high level closed door meetings on taking place at a time when the international monetary fund has heralded a darkened economic council. a short while ago we heard from the host of these meetings, indonesians finance minister, 3 movie army who said that the food crisis needs to be urgently addressed. she urged the delegates at these meetings, g, 20 finance ministers and the central banks chiefs to work together to overcome these urgent issues. knowing that failure to work together is more than we can afford. the impact on low income countries would be catastrophic. she really seemed to be focusing on those kitchen table issues as millions of people around the world rapport with soaring inflation, sore and cost of their groceries and the electricity bills as well. she urged g 20

the finance ministers to work together to overcome their differences as people around the world struggle with the soaring cost of living fuels hockey dis, i'm floating around the walk and vs being this is having huge political and social implication in st. alaska. gotten out better or a quad daughter and elsewhere these thought big is due to the high gas prices. is really, really an issue that is threatening our recovery. the world is in the middle oft milva energy crisis. the war as well as commodity price increase, could worsen the global inflation spike and increased further. social instability will jani has stress the importance of the finance ministers working together to

help overcome what has been noted as a scoring effect. noting that, of course, advanced economies are also struggling with this inflationary pressures, but the pressure will mostly be felt by emerging markets and that if they have to work together to help to overcome these challenges, the difficulty of course, will, will, jani, and the other g 20 finance ministers is that the rips within the g 20 of course, remained previous meetings, including last week's meeting of foreign ministers, was very much overshadowed by tensions within the group by the continuing persistent question of whether indecent russia in the face of its invasion of ukraine should still be allowed to participate in those meetings as she addressed delegates in those remarks that she made at the opening session reality, mariani, aj participants. to put aside political differences, saying that now is not the time to build a wall or focus on all start a war. in fact, they must put aside these matters of conflict and focus on the broader picture as

millions around the world are pushed into poverty. due to the soaring cost of living. all right there jessica washington life or stay at the g 20 summit embodied jessica, thank you for japan is one of the g 20 nations in body looking to find solutions to global inflation. the country is particularly vulnerable, as it relies on significant amounts of imported fuel and food. but as tony chang reports, there's some confidence the japanese economy is better prepared than most after dark in tokyo, a city with some of the most vibrant and expensive might life in the world. following several years of cobit 19 restrictions, the japanese capital is bouncing back. even if people are now taking more chances with their health, they're also watching their wallets. we are approving restroom. so many people come here because it can go abroad. so eating something that is or is a foreign food is kind of actually, are very popular now. but even if they come more numbers they're,

they are not consuming the way they used before. britain, a conductor esignature dish is civic, che raw fish marinated in lime juice, a favorite among his customers. while domestic fish prices have remained relatively stable. lives imported from mexico has doubled in cost, although he's been holding off that price hike will soon have to be passed on to dinah's. japan, like many western nations, has followed the lead of the united states in imposing economic sanctions on russia for its war in ukraine. even projects such as a sack helen, to natural gas joint venture, which it has refused to pull out of a now and a threat. russia recently took over the development and supplies which are essential to japan, could be cut to pans made a real effort to get on to renewables. but even here, they still rely on fossil fuels, 88 percent of their primary energy sources, like everywhere else in the world pump prices of increased between 5 and 10 percent

. in the last couple of months with years of pandemic restrictions expected to slow chinese production, it's neighbors could also suffer. but here japan's prospects look rather better as asian supply chains reorganize. they're using japanese technology to do so. obviously, japan is being hurt by the incredible cost push inflation. japan is a big importer of energy, is a very big importer of food. and as a result of that, you know, the purchasing power of the people and you know, is under downward pressure. but japan is different from the rest of the world because it's got a very functioning and very effective government. japan has been a morning. the former prime minister sions are abbey assassinated a week ago. but his legacy of a strong stable government and assertive fiscal policy could be the best defense the government has. in the face of rising global inflation, tony ching alto 0 took you or let's take your life now to shank as capital columbia,

where we're still waiting for the speaker parliament to announce the president got to buy a raj, packs of resignation, steadfast and joints of live now from the rank and capital steps, so what are we expecting to speak at stake? well, what people here are expecting him to say as 2 days later, then exactly. i actually was promised by go to buy park so that he is officially resigning that he has sent a valid letter of resignation. the letter was basically already received yesterday by email. so there was a lot of questions about the legality of it. speaker has taken more than 12 hours to verify this laptop. so what we are expecting is that in 10 minutes or so from now he's officially going to and i was a resignation. also, president go to buy a box that the protesters are also expected to come here to this last rallying point that they are still keeping it's the president shall secretary it

because they're also thinking, i'm expecting that a prime minister now acting president will be sworn in as the official acting president soon after the announcement by the speaker in a normal situation, this will happen this wearing and who happened right here. but this is now the rallying point that the protesters are still keeping. so at this stage, we don't know where it's wearing and will be taking place, but what we do know is that many people here for a long time, very much upset. that's the 5 minutes. so the previous prime minister now acting precedent will be the acting president officially and also possibly be the president for the next 2 years as one and next week or voted in by parliament next week. or just at some life insurance. because capital colombo will come back to step when we finish with that press conference on the speaker expected to officially announce the resignation of president. gotta buy up, roger. yes,
